10. Clean the CV joint thoroughly of all dirt and grease. If you use a solvent to clean it, be sure it is completely dry (compressed air works well) before re-greasing.
11. Slide the boot and
clamps over the driveshaft. Replace the "washer" with the one included
with the kit and re-use the other. 13. Pack the grease, as demonstrated here by justdave :-) Be sure and apply grease inside the joint as well as some on the driveshaft. Save some grease to put in the boot.
14. Drive the CV joint back on the driveshaft. Bently says use a plastic hammer, FWIW. Squirt any extra grease inside the boot. 15. Clamp the boot, using the special tool. If you don't have one of these in your garage--be creative.
16. Now re-install it. It's
easiest if you put the driveshaft through the hub first, and THEN bolt the
other end to the drive flange on the transmission. IMPORTANT:
Just as you loosened the collar bolt for the axle while the car was on the
ground, you must tighten it while the car is on the ground. Why? I don't
know, but Bentley claims that you risk injury if you do it while the car
is in the air. Using the new, 14mm collar bolt, tighten it to 85 ft/lb +
1/2 turn.
